The truck-safety movement has strong voices for policy and public awareness. DrowsyRoads adds the piece that's missing: a free sleep-health screening put directly in a commercial driver's hands — prevention that makes the road safer for drivers and everyone who shares it.
The organizations doing truck-safety work today do vital things — they raise public awareness and push for stronger federal rules on vehicle standards, speed limiters, and insurance minimums. That work shapes the system drivers operate in. But it works at the level of policy and the public — not the individual driver.
No one is putting a screening tool directly in an individual driver's hands. DrowsyRoads does exactly that — a private, three-minute obstructive sleep apnea risk check every commercial driver can take for free, before their DOT physical. It's prevention at the level of the driver, the one place the existing safety infrastructure doesn't reach.
DrowsyRoads runs lean and grassroots — meeting drivers where they already are. Your support funds the whole chain: the outreach that reaches drivers, the tool that serves them, and the everyday work of running an honest nonprofit behind it.
On-the-ground outreach. Canvassing at truck stops and terminals — the travel, fuel, and hands it takes to put the screening in front of drivers where they already are.
Cards & printed materials. The QR screening cards and plain-language fatigue-health handouts we give drivers face to face — the campaign's core tools.
The free tool, kept running. The website, software, and hosting that keep the screening free, private, and online for every driver — no signup, nothing stored.
A nonprofit run right. The legal, filing, and accounting work that keeps DrowsyRoads compliant and transparent — so your support is stewarded properly.
